But his preferred medium at the moment is...you guessed it....Legos.
Specifically, Lego stop action film making.
He recruited 5 of 8 as a fellow voice actor, fired up his Flip camera and set about making some movie magic.
I like to think that he gets his Lego creativity from moi...as chronicled here...and here.
Not that I'm delusional enough to think that I would have the patience to render a stop-action film. Heavens, no. While I do love me some stop-action effects and think there is no higher form of it than that perennial holiday favorite of Rudolph and his little claymation buddies, to actually move little bits of material half-centimeters at a time and take shots of each and every move...well, that would require pharmaceuticals to render me able to be that fastidious.
Serious pharmaceuticals.
But 3 of 8 is willing to work with such scrutiny for his art. And he was willing to showcase a bit of it here, a little montage of Legos and Octamom.
Roll tape...
Cool!
ReplyDeleteMe likey!
My B loves lego animations. The line 'What are you going to do? - comment on yourself" Way cool stuff dudes.
ReplyDeleteLove it! You could have a pair of budding entrepreneurs on your hands. They could make marketing videos for bloggers everywhere! :)
ReplyDeletethat was really cool! good job, guys.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job, guys! That must have taken a lot of patience. The dancing little guy was my favorite part. And you are right, octamom.com is a great blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm a regular octomom reader, but not a regular commenter.
ReplyDeleteHowever--
That. was. hysterical.
I mean it. 3 of 8, you have a serious future in stop-action film.
Octomom, you have birthed serious talent . . . and isn't it cool to watch your kids excel in ways that you know you never could? My eldest (nearly 3 y.o. son) is way more "orderly" than either me or my husband. It's fun to watch even now--who knows, maybe when he's as mature as 3 of 8 he too will have the patience for stop action animation. I'd better introduce him to Legos--quick!
Enjoyed that immensely,

neat! it is really good to have a lot of patience...
ReplyDeleteGreat work guys!
ReplyDeleteThat was great! I totally wouldn't have the patience for that either!
ReplyDeleteVery fun! Our 12 year old loves to do Lego stop-motion. We love Lego's in general!
ReplyDeleteThat is totally awesome! Keep up the awesome, unique work!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, just BRILLIANT! I laughed, I cried, I... okay, I just laughed really. A LOT!
ReplyDeleteAre there any kids film festivals around your area? Here we have a film fest called Tropfest and there is a Tropfest-kids competition too. They have a challange item that needs to be included in each film too, one year it was a sneeze, another a dog, I think for 2010 it's a spot... your kids could have so much fun with something like that. Some of the Tropfest winners have gone on to get awards at Cannes and other bigger film festivals... they all have to start somewhere!
